Areas of expertise

Where I can help.

01

WordPress Consulting

Experienced guidance for WordPress products, plugins, and business-critical websites.

  • Plugin and product architecture
  • Membership, eLearning, payment, and third-party integrations
  • Code reviews, performance work, and technical modernization
  • Product strategy for teams building on WordPress

02

AI Development Consulting

Practical AI systems and workflows designed around useful business outcomes, not hype.

  • AI-assisted development and code-review workflows
  • Agent-based automation and internal developer tools
  • Context, prompt, and knowledge-base architecture
  • Feasibility reviews for AI features and product ideas

03

PHP Consulting

Senior engineering help for PHP applications that need to become easier to understand, change, and operate.

  • Application architecture, APIs, and backend systems
  • Legacy codebase mapping, refactoring, and modernization
  • Performance analysis, debugging, and test strategy
  • Technical leadership for complex or high-risk projects

How Consulting Works

We start with the actual problem. I review the product, codebase, workflow, or technical decision in front of you, then give you a practical path forward. The engagement can be a focused advisory session, a technical review, or ongoing hands-on consulting.

You get direct recommendations, clear tradeoffs, and work that fits your team and existing systems.

A Good Fit When

  • You are planning or rescuing a WordPress product
  • Your team wants to use AI without lowering engineering standards
  • A PHP codebase is slowing down delivery
  • You need an experienced second opinion before a major technical decision
  • You need hands-on help turning a sound plan into production code
